Regional cues and visual discrimination in the rabbit.
Rabbits were trained to discriminate patterns consisting of straight bars and rows of dots of different orientation. It was found that using proximal pattern presentation, at a distance of 5 cm in front of the animal, dot rows of different orientation are not discriminated on the basis of tilt extrapolation, but by the use of regional cues.
